The Institute

Director of the Institute: To be announced

Established in 1984, the Institute combines the research strengths and resources of the Departments of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Carleton University and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa. Programs leading to master's and Ph.D. degrees are available through the Institute in a range of fields of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Graduate students may pursue their research on either university campus, depending upon the choice of supervisor. Registration will be at the university most appropriate to the student's program of studies and research. Requests for information and applications for admission may be sent to the Director of the Institute.

Master's Degree

Admission Requirements

The normal requirement for admission to the master's program is a bachelor's degree with at least high honours standing in mechanical engineering or a related discipline.

Program Requirements

The requirements for course work are specified in terms of credits: one credit is one hour/week for one term (thirteen weeks). The requirements for the master's degree by thesis are:

The requirements for the master's degree by course work are: twenty-seven course credits plus a project equivalent to nine course credits (Engineering 88.598 for Carleton University students; MCG6000 for University of Ottawa students).

Guidelines for Completion of Master's Degree

Students are expected to complete the master's program within the maximum limits outlined in the Section 13.2 of the General Regulations section of this calendar.

Doctor of Philosophy

Admission Requirements

The normal requirement for admission to the Ph.D. program is a master's degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering or a related discipline. Students who have been admitted to the master's program may be permitted to transfer into the Ph.D. program if they show outstanding academic performance and demonstrate significant promise for advanced research.

Program Requirements

The requirements for the Ph.D. degree (from the master's degree) are:

Students who have been permitted to transfer into the Ph.D. program from a master's program require thirty-three course credits for the Ph.D.

Guidelines for Completion of Doctoral Degree

Students are expected to complete the doctoral program within the maximum time limits outlined in section 13.3 of the General Regulations section of this calendar. In addition, Ph.D. candidates are required to complete Parts I, II and III of the Ph.D. comprehensive examinations according to the timing outlined in the Ph.D. comprehensive guidelines which are distributed by the department involved.

Graduate Courses

In all programs, the student may choose graduate courses from either university with the approval of the adviser or the advisory committee. The available graduate courses are listed below, grouped by subject area. Course descriptions are to be found in the departmental section of the calendar concerned. All courses are of one term duration. Not all courses are necessarily offered during any particular academic year. The following codes identify the department offering the course:
